Some Say (Jean Kirstein X Reader)

Chapter Forty-One

"We need to kill Eren," Jeans says as Falco's titan changes direction.

Marco is now sitting in Jean's arms. He runs his fingers through his son's hair mindlessly as they discuss the plan. It's so hard to listen to, knowing that I can't be with them on this. That I can't say goodbye to an old friend before his life comes to an end.

Jean leans forward placing his hand on the side of my face. "You're so beautiful. How'd I end up with someone as amazing as you?" He asks.

"Luck," Levi comments from beside me.

We both ignore him and look into each other's eyes. A smile comes to my face as I hold back some tears. This could be the last time I see him alive. I put my hand over his.

"With that terrible personality of yours Jean, I don't know how you even managed to have friends." Reiner snorts behind us.

Jean groans dropping his hand away from my face and throwing his head back. "Can I not get one nice moment with the woman I love."

"Not with us around," Levi says. "Now, hurry up. We are getting closer."

"Well since the moment is ruined," Jean says handing Marco back to me. "I love you and I will see you when I get back." He says as he checks over his gear.

I lean forward closer to him. "We can have lots of nice moments once you are back and safe," I whisper to him.

"I'm definitely coming back now." He laughs placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Kiss her like you mean it, Kirstein." Levi snaps from behind it.

Jean looks hesitant for a moment before pressing his lips against mine. His hand sneaks up under my shirt a little, his fingers trace over my warm skin. I lean into the kiss more, feeling intoxicated by the moment. 

A little hand sneaks up to the sides of our faces and before we know it, Marco is pushing Jean's face away. A light-hearted laugh leaves me as I see our son pouting at his father.

"No," He warns Jean.

Small snickers are heard around the group. Jean is smiling at both of us as Reiner moves over to the side of Falco.

"Are you ready, Jean?"

He nods. "As ready as I'll ever be."

Reiner, Pieck, and Jean jump off the side of Falco with ease, heading towards Eren's nape. My eyes don't leave him for a second. I watch as he lands below, titans already going after them. 

Next up are Connie, Mikasa, and Annie. The two women watch the titans below, trying to single one out. 

I move closer to Levi and Marco suddenly takes an interest in him. He latches onto Levi's shirt before letting go of mine. 

"Marco, be careful. He's injured." I say.

"It's fine. I've had my ass handed to me  by titans before, remember?"

I raise an eyebrow at him. "You've obviously never been kicked or punched by a three old then." 

"That must be the one," Annie says. "It looks like it's trying to run away from us."

"Let's get it before it gets away," Mikasa says, getting ready to jump.

I grab Connie before he moves to stand up. "Come back to us as well," I say.

He gives me a small nod as he ruffles Marco's hair. "Don't worry, I will. Stay safe."

The three of them jump off the side of Falco and I watch as they hurdle towards Eren. All I want to do is be by their sides, protect them but I have others I need to protect just as much.
